ADO.NET v. 2.0 delivers dramatic improvements in relational data access and XML
support, as well as outstanding integration with Microsoft's state-of-the-art
SQL Server 2005. Microsoft's new ADO.NET v. 2.0 and System.Xml v. 2.0 betas are
sparking a groundswell of enthusiasm, both from long-time ADO.NET developers and
those who have not yet adopted these technologies. Now's the time to get a running
start, with ADO.NET and System.Xml v. 2.0--The Beta Version, the one book that
delivers all the insights, best practices, and sample code you'll need.
Two renowned .NET and XML experts and Microsoft's lead XML program manager
reveal everything that's new in ADO.NET and System.Xml--including major changes
since 2004's "Technology Preview." Using realistic code examples,
the authors illuminate improvements to data access and management, the DataSet
class, security, schema discovery, and much more. You'll discover how SQL Server
2005's in-process CLR hosting will help you build faster, more robust applications--and
how to make the most of advances in XML speed, schema support, usability, querying,
and serialization. Topics include
- Doing more with less code: async command execution, promotable transactions,
batched update, bulk data copy, and other SqlClient class enhancements
- Leveraging ADO.NET improvements that work with any database platform, including
provider factories and the Database Schema Discovery API
- Using improved DataSet classes to increase flexibility, simplify coding,
and improve performance
- Integrating with SQL Server 2005, via Multiple Active Result Sets, query
notifications, and user-defined types
- Utilizing SQL Server 2005 as an XML database: using, accessing, and updating
the xml data type
- Understand XML's growing role in the .NET platform and its impact on developers
- Mastering System.Xml v. 2.0 classes for reading/writing XML, document editing,
validation, transformations, security, and more
- Discovering new techniques for customizing XML serialization and working
with XML document stores
- Maximizing application and service performance with insider tips and tricks
from ADO.NET's creators
Already assessing ADO.NET v. 2.0 and System.Xml v. 2.0? Piloting them? Building
production applications? Wherever you stand, wherever you're headed with these
technologies, this book will get you there.

Mark Fussell is a lead program manager at Microsoft, working
on XML and Web service technologies. He designed the XML APIs in version 1.0
release of System.Xml in the .NET Framework and worked on the design of version
2.0 until the end of 2004. In this role, he helped define the future direction
of XML and data access in the .NET Framework and within SQL Server 2005. Mark
is now the program manager for the Web Services Enhancements (WSE) product,
which enables developers to build advanced, secure, service-oriented applications
within Visual Studio, based around the WS-* specifications. Fortunately, this
still allows him to work with developers and the XML APIs in .NET, and to remain
passionate about current and emerging XML technologies to integrate data across
platforms—XML came, it saw, it integrated. Mark speaks regularly at conferences
